I'm doing 55/hr weeks right now, so I can't contribute much until things cool down at work, but I'm game to throw together another victim. Can't wait to throw it together, though.

The website tweaks are complete, and the raw tweaks are almost complete. We should be good to go to open up the new tournament probably Wednesday of next week. I would start things this weekend, but real-life will be incredibly busy for me this weekend. This time, fighters will be able to start working on their builds immediately upon joining the tournament (I know you guys have been waiting a while for that feature). Spermy Smurf and Bene Elim will be appointed as league commissioners, and of course Vox Nihili (as an administrator) has the authority to run any match if he has the time and chooses to do so.

 THE NEW TEST TOURNAMENT IS OPEN FOR REGISTRATION This will be a 32-fighter tournament featuring five rounds of one-on-one fights. Remember, in order to participate, you must create a new fighter if you haven't already, then have that fighter apply to join the tournament from the "Manage Fighter" page. http://arenachallenge.com For reference, here is the newest list of all of the modifications from the original DF 40.24 base game. Bold items in the list indicate new changes for the current tournament. Weapons Maces and flails now use Hammer skill. Whip contact area increased to 35, velocity reduced to 3000. Picks use Misc. Object skill. Axe and great axe strike velocity increased from 1250 to 1500. Reduced penetration depth of pick from 4000 to 3000, reduced velocity from 2000 to 1500.

Crossbow bash contact area reduced from 10000 to 350 (imagine using the solid butt instead of the entire unwieldy bow, makes sense). Bow bash contact area reduced from 10000 to 600, velocity increased from 1250 to 1500. Pike shaft bash contact area reduced from 10000 to 2500, stab contact area increased from 20 to 25, size increased from 800 to 900. Halberd slashing strike contact area reduced from 20000 to 3500, shaft bash contact area reduced from 20000 to 5000. Two-handed sword slash contact area reduced from 100000 (jeez) to 7000, slap contact area reduced from 100000 to 10000, pommel strike contact reduced from 100 to 90. Long sword slashing contact area reduced from 60000 to 5000, slap contact from 60000 to 7500, pommel strike contact from 100 to 80.

Arrow contact area increased from 2 to 5, penetration increased from 2000 to 2500, size increased from 150 to 175. Armor Leather gloves now cover lower arms as well as hands. Body mail reduced to 75% coverage. Breast plates, body leather armor, and most other armor still at 100%. Caps increased from 50% to 75% coverage. Helms reduced to 98% coverage. Buckler blockchance increased from 10 to 12. Shield remains at 20. Creatures Removed [NATURAL_SKILL] tags from gremlins, stranglers, and minotaurs. Removed [SLOW_LEARNER] tags from werewolves and trolls. Removed [ARENA_RESTRICTED] tag from molemarians. Added [CAN_LEARN] tags to molemarians, stranglers, and yetis. Attributes tracked for each race include Strength, Agility, Toughness, Endurance, Recuperation, Willpower, Disease Resistance, Focus, Kinesthetic Sense, and Spatial Sense. Attributes have been normalized so it is less likely that a creature will be generated with an attribute much higher or lower than its expected value. Normalized attribute ratings now use the following chart, where 1000 represents average, 0 represents no ability whatsoever, and 5000 represents the greatest possible ability for any mortal creature: pre:Prefix Median Base DF game attribute range Attribute range used in Arena Challenge

The ant Icipation is looking forward to this tournament. It would have been much more amusing to arena_restrict elves, so that everyone who made elves would actually get giant damselflies. Jazzimus Prime posted:
That's not working for me, I get the error message "Sorry, you may not edit a fighter that is not participating in a tournament."

Sorry about the double post, but You should now be able to build your fighters immediately after registering for the tournament, for REAL this time The management panel appears to confirm this, as I can see that the last several fighters were able to buy skills and armor. Yes, in my first attempt at implementing this feature, I only checked to see whether the fighters received their points upon joining a tournament, but did not test whether or not they could spend those points.

My Nashbash is in and her build is something I'm not sure has been tried (and failed) before. Let's just say, this time I'm betting everything in my opponent. Just hoping this guy will last longer than the last one.  Edit: name
